Data replication parameters

These parameters are used to configure the data directory paths of your servers. These settings are server wide, and must be added to the ‘WaveformDB’ area of the INI file.

Database root folder path

Waveform databases for all units will locate on the file system under the same common folder. The path to the root folder will be specified in the citect.ini file:

[WaveformDB]
LocalRoot = c:\path\to\the\database\root

This path must be specified as local path.

By default, the Power Operation[DATA] directory is be used as database root folder.

Database root UNC path

For waveform files to be accessible by the remote clients, the database root folder must be available as network shared folder. The UNC name of this folder must be specified in the INI file

[WaveformDB]
UNCPath = \\computerName\shareToTheLocalRootAbove

If the UNC path to the database root is not specified, all waveform file names returned by the library will be local file names for the I/O server, making viewing the waveforms on the remote clients impossible.

Replication destination configuration

In redundant scenario, the replication target folder must be specified for replication to work

[WaveformDB]
ReplicationDestinationRoot=\\OtherMachine\share\path

The destination path is the name of the network share on the redundant machine where its waveform database root is located. It must also allow write access.

No default value for it is assumed.

If not set or share is not accessible, no replication will be preformed.
